A.Wv ■ Conress \ b/* • Qldelega The Mtlm.il um Dr Pettit tiave in Ullian. A■ Dr. Pettit proceeded with his questioning of Lillian. Kalherlne slipped quietly lo nty side and, tin » s»en by either of the physicians, put , her hand into mine, pressing it firmly. ^ I guessed that she was seeking com * fort as well as giving It. Katherine's affe.ctlon for Lillian Is neatly as * strong ss nty own, and I was afraid ’ I hat her professional knowledge gave * her even more specific cause for fear than I had. With a sudden terror 1 remembered Dr. Pettit's absence front <• the room after he had tested Lillian's * heart, lungs and blood pressure. What » had he told the nurse during that brief absence. My hand gave a con ^ vulsive clasp upon Katherine's, and ». she slipped a steadying, comforting «. arm around me. The questioning went on swift, * skillful,. remorseless In its severity, laying open all the sins of neglect which Lillian had been piling up against >her strength In the time since her terrible illness. And when *[ it had ended, Katherine and 1 did i not neetl the speech of either phv 5 slcian to give us the verdict which we already knew must he Inevitable, •j Dr. Meredith had listened silently ' for the most part. Interjecting only * two questions, hut those such perti nent and important ones that t gave t> Katherine's hand a comprehending, significant grip upon hearing them. f And when the questioning had fin i* ished. I saw the specialist with a L slight lifting ot the eyebrows, sum S mon his colleague to a conference oiit * side the room. * Lillian Dfsoheys. “Make her comfortable,” Dr. Pettit * said to Katherine, as he lurned away. “We shall return in a few minutes. Don't let her talk.” {'] Lillian waited only until the door j wa sclosed behind them to disobey his Injunction. « “It's no use, Katherine,” she said, f “You needn't frown at me. I know . I've only a few minutes before those gifted gentlemen put the hobbles on me for the rest of my life. I don't know what their verdict is yet. so , I haven't any conscience about obev * lug (hem until I do know. But I've ,' got lo seltle a tew tilings before Ihey § return. Madge, you can tell Kather i! Ine and the physicians. If you wish, jj all I know about that girl. And then i; yoii must take charge of tills Hugh u. Ktrantland business for me. I’ve told you all l know about It, hut you must come clean, as I told you before with what you're holding hack from me. I must make a decision quickly as to what is to be done, and I can t do it tintlll I have all the cards In my hands. Then you must lake up the work where I have dropped it. Re member, It 's a duty you owe not only to Hugh Grantland, hut to me. The Dicky bird may raise Cain about it, hut you can’t help that. You wouldn't lisve to lift a finger about the mat ter. if I were able to go on, hut I'm afrrld I’m up against It. Now re member, tell me now everything—” “You Musi Rest." Her v#ice was growing fainter, an l Katherine motioned me imperatively bac k from the bed, “She shall tell you everything. 1 promise it." she said authoritatively, “but you must rest now." She had her own fingers upon Lll Han's pulse now and kept them there firmly, while she. by sheer force of will, kept our stubborn friend from the exertion which we both knew might cost her very life. 1 think she was as relieved as 1 when the phy* slcians returned. 1 saw them both glance at Lillian keenly, then at each other, and Hr. Meredith nodded. Dr. Pettit advanced to the bed. bent watchfully over Lillian and gestured Katherine to Dr. Meredith. 1 could not hear his low voiced instruction, but Katherine swiftly prepared a hypodermic’ and administered it. Then wc* all waited silently, tensely until the stimulant had had its effect, when Dr. Pettit spoke with solemn empha sis. “Mrs. Pndervvood. do you wish to live until your daughter Is « woman capable of battling against the world alone?" Lillian gazed back at him with no hint of her usual flippanc y. • "Yes." she said slmi ly. “Then you must obey nm absolutely. Your heart is—bad l don't mean hopelessly involved, but so seriously that you risk almost certain death it you are not willing to obey my in structions. Dr. Meredith, 1 may add, agrees with me absolutely In row find ing. But you must obey me .abso lutely. You disobeyed just now. and came nearer to the pearly gates than' you guess. I must have your promise that you will do exactly as I ask, cu I must give up your case.

Prompt arion advised. F. W. Thorne Co. ^^^^ISI^FarnaniSh^^^^ Kllznheth—A poor complexion often stands In the way of a girl’s popu larity. Consult a good physician about the matter, because it is evi dent your physical condition is not \\ hit it should be. You may need medicine or a change of diet. Re as sweet and attractive as you know bow to both boys and girls, It may not lie your lot in life to lie ex tremely popular but it is certainly possible for you to earn a number of friends. Peg: Don't play second fiddle. The boy cares a lot more for your girl friend and only goes with you when lie can't have her. Drop him and wait for a friend wiio Is really inter ested in you. The fact that your par ents do not like him is also significant and should help you in your decision to give him up. Anxious: You father took exactly tile right course with you. Since lie lei the boy come until lie found his calls were interfering with your studies, no doubt he would respond to high grades oil your part and let you huie i alls again. Apply yourself to your school work and music to please your father, and then when you are getting along better ask for some sort of compromise—one date a week or something like that. Don’t consider running off with the boy. Your mar liage would not be legal because you are too young to get a license with out your father’s consent. Saucy Susie: No doubt you have beeen too free in telling people how much you care for the young man. and the report has reached him. Don't let him or any one else know that you care how he feels. There are others just as desirable ns he is. and If you are wise you will be ready foi new friendships instead of clinging to the hope that he will change his mind and want you. Kdna and Iluth: Underweights should drink milk and eat sweets, though not in excess. Heavyweights 1 should avoid white bread and other [ starchy foods as well as sweets. Jake: It is against the policy of this department to reveal names of correspondents. Kthel: Pronounce "chic" ns though it were "sheik." Ij. L.: I cannot read your handwrit ing.
